A major international tour operator will develop tourism in the Italian region of Calabria. The flight program will begin on September 7 and run until October 5. Flights on the Moscow-Lamezia Terme-Moscow route will operate twice a week on Mondays. and Fridays with iFLY. Lamezia Terme Airport is a major transport hub in the center of Calabria, offering convenient connections to any part of the region. It connects major Italian cities, including Rome, Venice, Milan, Turin, and Bologna, and also offers an extensive route network to Europe.
To introduce you to the destination, the tour operator offers the Ionian Coast. It's renowned for its miles of 300-meter-wide sandy beaches and modern all-inclusive hotel complexes. The tour operator's portfolio includes approximately 30 hotels (http://www.tez-tour.com/catalog/italy/calabria.html), most of which are family-oriented.
"Calabria enjoys a high number of sunny days per year and two coastlines with a long swimming season. Despite its diverse tourism potential, the region is still little known in the Russian market," said Larisa Akhanova, PR Director of TEZ TOUR. "Yet, it is one of the most interesting and high-quality vacation spots, chosen primarily by Italians themselves. This speaks to the delicious and affordable cuisine here."
Beyond the beaches, travelers will have plenty of opportunities for sightseeing and gastronomic tourism. Calabria boasts a rich archaeological heritage dating back to Ancient Greece, unique churches and small towns, and natural parks. Calabrian cuisine is influenced by Greek, Roman, Norman, Arabic, Spanish, and French culinary cultures. Around 350 varieties of peppers are grown in Calabria, including chili and bergamot, the region's main symbol, renowned worldwide. Tour cost (flight, transfer, insurance, accommodation in a 3* hotel with breakfast) starts from 479 euros per person
It's worth noting that tour operator TEZ TOUR has received government support. Negotiations on mutual cooperation in tourism were held in Italy with the participation of the region's governor, Mr. Mario Oliveri, and TEZ TOUR's commercial director, Alexander Burtin. He noted that Calabria is of interest to Russian tourists as a full-fledged summer destination, with potential for growth, and that at least 1,200 clients will take advantage of the tour operator's offers within one month of the flight program.
